I have one week left in the pool teaching summer swimming lessons. My first TTT course of my second and final year in the program starts Saturday. School starts in 10 days.

I had hoped to get another post or two up this week but going back to school got in the way. Those first few days are always exhausting. I do hope to get some posts up this week but we shall see. In the meantime, let's get to today's ten... 1. Tell Me/King Khan And The Shrines (4) - last played on 3/31/13 2. Volunteers Of America/The Both (10) - last played on 7/21/15 3.

It's a good thing the Super Bowl party I'm going to is next door because today's snowstorm means traveling much farther than that is a no go. My parents were supposed to come as well but they are snowed in and even had church cancelled this morning. As for the game itself, I'm more rooting against the Patriots than rooting for the Seahawks but I do hope it's at least competitive. I'm going to do something quite different today. Every Sunday I do this shuffle, I let the music run long after the first 10. Some days I might listen to 100 songs this way or more. So, in honor of Super Bowl XLIX I'm going to list the first 49 songs that pop up today. Crazy, yes, but why not... 1. Bartomelo And The Buzzing Of Bees/Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (16) - last played on 9/15/13 2. Let's Love/Matthew Sweet (7) - last played on 4/15/12 3. Karen/The National (1) - loaded onto iTunes some time in Dec. 2014 4. Black Hole/She & Him (9) - last played on 6/23/1...

I realize I'm doing these mostly for me at this point but I'm okay with that... 1. Big Difference/Tokyo Police Club (14) - last played on 11/11/12 2. Don't You Evah/Spoon (7) - last played on 4/4/13 3. Parklife/Blur (5) - last played on 5/12/13 4. Pablo And Andrea/Yo La Tengo (10) - last played on 9/30/12 5. Watch Out For Me Ronnie/Yo La Tengo (7) - last played on 1/2/13 6. Anchorage/Surfer Blood (5) - last played on 12/21/10 7. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of/U2 (6) - last played on 5/5/13 8.

It's time for a double dose of Sunday Shuffle, as we will be driving back from upstate New York next Sunday, a very long drive. It's a trip I'm very much looking forward to, not just because it's a vacation but because we get to spend many days with family at a beautiful lake. So, without further ado, here are today's twenty... 1. Fernando/The Baseball Project (3) - last played on 6/19/12 2. I Read A Lot/Nick Lowe (6) - last played on 6/11/12 3.
